Fiber Bragg grating sensor for heart rate measurement
A low-cost dual-FBG (fiber Bragg grating) architecture is employed to capture the pulse waveform of the artery at the subject's wrist by measuring changes in optical power. The edge filter is the Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) fabricated by two fiber couplers with a linear slope of 52. Temperature and heart rate were considered for measurement. The proposed TFBG-based optical. This paper deals on the alternative fiber optic sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) for use in biomedical applications. FBG measurement probe mounted on the human chest provides respiratory and heart activity monitoring. [pdf]
